Free sugar vs total sugar
Where the sugar comes from: Leon Chargrilled Chicken Burger
| Portion | Total sugar | Free (added) sugar | Naturally occurring | Free sugar in teaspoons |
|---|
| Per portion | 4.2g | 3g | 1.2g | 0.8 tsp |
Boone estimates that 3g of the 4.2g total sugar is free sugar, from the added sugar in the ingredient list. The remaining 1.2g is naturally present in vegetables and pulses and grains. LEON publishes total sugar only, so this split is Boone's estimate.
NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6. Sugars naturally present in milk and whole fruit are excluded. Sugars in fruit juice, purées, syrups and plant drinks made from hydrolysed grains count as free sugar.

Processing and additives: Leon Chargrilled Chicken Burger
Leon Chargrilled Chicken Burger is made with a published list of at least 29 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, industrial sugars, protein isolates and concentrates and baking improvers. These are not there to add nutritional value.

Industrial sugars
Refined sugars made from starch, used for sweetness, browning or bulk.
Protein isolates and concentrates
Proteins extracted from plants to add bulk, bind or replace egg and meat.
Baking improvers
Speed up industrial bread making and keep bread soft for longer.
